A VANTech and Waste Control Specialists (WCS) are offering a new alternative to the single-use steel liners or High Integrity Containers (HICs) currently in use at Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) for the disposition ofsluiceable spent water treatment media. This new AVANTech/ WCS patent-pending alternative is called the Volume Reduction Container (VRC). The VRC is comprised of two major components: the Reusable Shell and a replaceable Reload Kit.

Processing as usual - There are no required changes at the customer`s site since the VRC™ is utilized in place of the current dewatering container and is compatible with existing systems (e.g., fill-heads/fillplates, remote grapples, processing shields, etc.).
Available in all common container sizes to accommodate the popular shipping casks (e.g., RT-100, 8-120, 10-160, 14-170,14-190, 14-210, and 14-215).
ALARA friendly container lid closure means no more complicated barrel top drum ring installations or "tighten until you reach the index mark" as with poly screw-in type lid installations.
The Reusable Shell is a reusable open-top carbon steel shell that houses the one-time use Reload Kit. The Reusable Shell wall thickness is 3/8 in. and is epoxy coated on the inside and outside. The Reusable Shell (and VRC™) is lifted by slings and/or a grappable lifting ring, and the top has tabs for the mating of the Reload Kit steel lid.
The VRC™ incorporates the best of both worlds: 1) The industry-proven rigid steel dewatering container`s outer shell; and 2) The specially designed collapsible liner consisting of a watertight, double-walled IP-1 bladder with reinforced outer woven bag for disposal.
Cost avoidance - Once the VRC™ container of radmaterial is shipped offsite for final disposition, only the Reload Kit is disposed of, allowing the customer savings at the WCS disposal site. After the Reload Kit is removed/ dispositioned, the Reusable Shell is inspected, checked for cleanliness, and then is fitted with a brand new Reload Kit and steel lid (including new dewatering internals). The now fully assembled VRC™ is ready for its next use.
Burial Cost Savings – The VRC™ allows the customer to recognize significant savings relating to disposal costs at WCS Texas. When burying waste at WCS, only the collapsible liner is disposed of – not the entire dewatering container. The
VRC™ minimizes container costs while maximizing the burial site’s waste capacity. Please contact your WCS representative for details about your specific burial savings
